Flowstone Gin is known for its earthy botanical flavours stemming from the soil of Africa, and it is no surprise that their Marula Gin has become a fan favourite. With a distinctive flavour that teasingly dances on the border between sweet passion fruit and tangy lime, this gin certainly knows how to give the tastebuds an unforgettable experience.

You may be surprised to know, however, that Flowstone Gin’s customers are not the only fans of this fresh flavour, but the marula fruit itself has been known to be extremely popular amongst the elephants that roam the bushveld of Africa. Just between us, they tend to overindulge on occasion and often find themselves slightly tipsy on this delectable treat. But who are we to judge, they clearly have great taste!

Speaking of these beautiful creatures, we just passed World Elephant Day. So, in their honour, Flowstone Gin has selected a Marula Gin cocktail recipe to celebrate the occasion in retrospect. Try this simple Flowstone Marula Gin Madras at home and raise a glass to our quirky friends of the wild.
